A Jamestown man has been taken into custody following a domestic incident early Saturday morning.

According to a press release from the Jamestown Police Department, police responded to 909 Washington St. for a reported fight just after 2:30 a.m. Upon arrival, officers observed Akeem T. Sims, 20, yelling obscenities at a female victim while in public. Upon further investigation, it was determined that Sims and the female victim had gotten into a physical altercation.

Police reported Sims had thrown the victim to the ground, causing the victim to lose consciousness-then allegedly proceeded to punch, kick and spit on her.
